Abstract
This is the third in a series of studies based on the Personality Assessment System (PAS), a new approach to relating personality traits to intellectual test performance. In the sample were 152 young, white, “normal” males of at least average intelligence. The purpose was to test hypotheses involving Ss' self-concepts and preferences as obtained independently of the intelligence test data on an instrument devised along theory-determined lines. 9 hypotheses were drawn up in advance, of which 5 were upheld statistically. The study provides an example of the kind of specific hypothesis testing the PAS permits and some further evidence in support of its theoretical formulations.Keywords
